The state of civilization my group chose was Mesopatmia. The part of this that i am going to cover is when: did this society begin? When did it end? When were significant key events? when was it t its peak? When was it at its worst? and where:was it located? This is where you have to include a map (this does not count as a page of your paper, this is separate. Please include in your paper where it was located then and now . The reason my group chose this one is because there was no other options left and we were forced to.
